1964 Plymouth Belvedere

[Alex Flint]

I named this one ALPENGEIST which is a German word meaning GHOST OF THE ALPS. I airbrushed it with acrylic craft paint that I thinned out using windshield washer fluid. It works perfectly and doesn't affect the color of the paint. The colors I used were a Shimmer White base with an Ice Blue fades. The front seats are salvaged from a different kit and upholstered with a Light Blue craft foam with White diamond dots to simulate snowballs. The rear seat, door panels, and the dashboard are upholstered with extra fine glitter White craft foam and Light Blue craft foam with White diamond dots to simulate snowballs. The piping is a Light Blue string ribbon I got at Hobby Lobby. The radio is a photo etch detail part. Instead of fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror I decided to make snowballs out of some crystal bead I painted them with a Shimmer White acrylic craft paint. The string on them is a thin piece of White embroidery thread. The carpet is White craft felt. The headliner is a Light Blue craft felt. The rear window carpet is a White embossed craft felt. The inner headlights were purposely left off to give the look of cold air intakes. The license plate is one I custom designed for this specific build. The chrome details on the taillights are painted with Molotow Liquid Chrome using a toothpick to apply it. The wheels are Pegasus Sovereigns. The engine is fully plumbed and wired. The spark plug wires are Light Blue bead wire. The plug wire boots are tiny Black beads. The battery terminal connectors are gold crimp cord ends. The battery cables are Black bead wire for the negative side and Red bead wire for the positive side. The fuel line is a clear stretchy bead cord with a White tube bead used for a fuel filter. The brake lines are Light Blue bead wire made into a coil by wrapping a tiny screw with the wire. The ignition wire is a Light Blue bead wire and the ignition coil is a piece of aluminum tubing. The radiator hose is a Silver braided bead wire. The carburetor spring is a coiled Black bead wire and connected to a couple of watch brackets make it look more realistic. The exhaust system and the suspension is painted with Molotow Liquid Chrome.

Cool paint job and a very unique interior.

Nice, I like this! Reminds me of the customizing options on the old AMT kits. "Build stock, or go Wild"?
